“Sailing Away” 11” x 14” Pastel $175 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
I enjoy my job but I have to admit, every fall, when faced with the barrage of meeting invites and organizational details, I want to be far away. I picture sailing away on a beautiful summer day like this, with blue skies overhead and cool breezes….and no meetings, no schedules, and the only thing to think about is what time the sun sets.
Happy Weekend!

I love these hydrangeas. Not only are these colorful flowers beautiful, they grow in my garden and were originally given to me decades ago by my mother-in-law, when I gave birth to my daughter. What’s also amazing is that they’ve survived drought, torrential rains, my inept care, and the deer who love to nibble on some of the leaves in the spring. I’m grateful for their beauty and also because they remind me of the kindness of a woman who was an important part of my life long ago.
Happy Weekend!

“Sunrise Silhouette” 8” x 10” Pastel $75 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
It was a few minutes before sunrise on a quiet, cold morning in July…yes, July. It’s hard to believe for those of us on the east coast where we’re roasting, that it really was cold on a morning in July. To me it was perfect and exactly the way all July mornings should start: clear, cold, beautiful and with the only sound that of the waves crashing on the rocks.

“As Evening Draws Close” 11” x 14” Pastel $175 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
Sometimes, as the evening draws close, and the light begins to fade, the sun may gift you with one last, spectacular show of light. It’s usually brief but if you’re attentive, you may be presented with one last dazzling display of light and color that sets the land aglow.
Happy Weekend!

Sometimes the beauty of a place just takes my breath away. We had parked by the side of the road and hiked over a hill not sure what to expect on the other side when we saw this beautiful view. The water swirled with an almost jade green amidst a darker turquoise. Sometimes it seems Mother nature is the best artist of us all.
Happy Weekend!

“Like a Mother’s Kiss” 12” x 12” Pastel $175 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
When I’m on the beach, I’m fascinated by waves. As anyone who’s spent any time by the ocean, you know that sometimes waves are huge, scary and dramatic, reminding you of the force of the sea. But then there are those times when the surf is gentle, with a relaxing, peaceful, ebb and flow, and if you’re lucky, you catch the sun perfectly brushing the tops of the waves like a mother’s kiss.
Happy Weekend!

What a view I got from this point on the hiking path! I would have happily stayed in this coastal park for days! There was sun, cool breezes, trees with these gnarled trunks that you see on these rugged coasts, a few berries for snacks along the way, and of course these gorgeous views of the surf down below!
Happy Weekend!
